Hello everybody! It's been a while since I didn't post anything new! People who know me (or who follow me on FB) already know why, I've been burgled... I've lost the things I've bought at Fanny's shop too. They took "almost" everything but I don't know WHY, my sewing machine is still here... Life's a b...

So I've continued my wishing dress. And I've started a white bodice (because I want a white anglaise since I drew this (see the drawing below). I still have white coton at home and it will be a kind of crash test for my front zone dress before cutting my silk that I've bought some months ago.

For the moment, everything stays in place with pins. Waterfall drapery, things on the side - I don't know the name... tabs maybe? - apron, and even the closure. I've tried with hooks and eyes but it's horrible, I have to start again, I suck with hooks and eyes !)

Hello everybody! Yes! La Journée Grand Siècle at Vaux le Vicomte is this WE. My raspberry Robe à l'Anglaise is the very first one I've made (I had made 2 caraco before but they wasn't so complicated!). and it's gonna go for a walk !

Here's the finished dress, with accessories (I tried to do something quick with my hair and I didn't have any mirror so please, forgive me :)). Ruffles on the back are not correct, it's hard to see the result alone, I'll be helped on Sunday :D

First of all you have to sew together the 7 pannels of the skirt (instead of 5 on the original dress if I'm right but I prefer following the pattern I have instead of making sh*t). Then, you have to gather the back:

Hello Everybody!I wanted to say "Thanks" to all these wonderful people who have written studies about the dress I'm reproducing. My work is really easier thanks to them. Some advertising is not a bad thing :D

La webmistress a pu étudier de très près la robe en Hamburg avant qu'elle soit vendue :) / The webmistress had the chance to study this dress (Hamburg) before it was sold. A VERY detailed study. thanks a lot!

I'm still waiting for the guy from Fedex with my fabric! I don't have fabric anymore as I've used my entire sample! I hope it will arrive tomorrow ! Here's what I'been able to make even if I miss only one piece :)

Je dois toujours repasser les coutures au fer / I still have to press the seams.

I'm on holiday for a week so I can finish urgent tasks. I still have to finish my dress for la Journée Grand Siècle à Vaux le Vicomte on May the 20th. Started several months ago I still had to make hems, etc.
